1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

Abstract

Chorea is a hallmark of Huntington's disease (HD), yet its clinical assessment is of limited reliability, impairing our ability to sensitively evaluate its progression. We evaluated passive monitoring for estimating the two-year evolution of upper limb chorea in HD. Across four studies, 1025 participants collected smartwatch accelerometer data during their everyday life. We developed a machine learning model anchored to in-clinic upper limb chorea and trained cross-sectionally on disease-relevant features. The final model, selected using nested cross-validation, allowed estimating the longitudinal evolution of chorea. The resulting digital passive monitoring chorea score shows a progression of 0.13 points per year (95% CI: [0.08, 0.17]), and a robust sensitivity to change across studies, avoiding biases related to in-clinic measurements. High-resolution accelerometer data collected passively during daily life can improve the measurement of chorea in HD.
